Thanks everyone! Maxi. . . I like the veilside v1 on your car. . I was considering it, but afraid I would have to raise up my TEIN Flex to ensure that I wouldn't scrape. . . Not sure If I want to sacrifice ride height :-)

ACP,
I was orginally going to go with Plexiglass for the window, however I was told it would be quite difficult to etch in the "Z" and the three squares on both sides in 3 Dimensional.
With that in mind, I moved up to 3/8" Glass and had the install etch in the "Z" and the three squares on both sides to match with what is on our rear strut bar. He then went to a buddy of his and had him do a custom molded neon tube that wrapped completely around the edges of the glass. Therefore, when the neon is turned on - it shines through the glass and illumnates the points in which was etched - giving it the 3-dimensions and extremely cool look and glow.
I wish I could go into more details on the equipment that was used and techniques, but I never bothered asking. I just told them exactly what I wanted and they made it happen.
If you are considering this set-up, let me know and I can take more close-ups of the installation and etching and e-mail them to you in high-res format to take to a local glass shop and see what they'll do for ya.
By the way, ACP I really like how the VERTEX Full kit looks on your car. After I get finished building my new house, I am going with that kit and GREDDY TT with all forged internals. I'll keep all ya'll updated.

Good luck with the plexiglass!! Let me know how everything goes.
TwoNosBottles:
Thanks so much for the comment on my setup! I acutally didn't pay anything for mine becuase I am designing a website for my buddy that did the install.
Are you paying 6gs for the equipment + install, or just the install alone? I would **** my pants if I had to pay 6gs for the install alone, haha!

Thanks Jet! I haven't yet shown it becuase I feel like it's not anywhere up to the quality of competition yet 
The Tein Adjustibles are a dream. If you are even lightly considering these, GO FOR IT!
0 is set up to be the hardest setting, and 16 being the softest. To me, having it set on level 16 on both front and rear feels like you're driving a damn luxuary car (nice on long trips where you're sick of feeling every crack in the road). It's MUCH softer than the stock suspension.
Then on the flipside, when you have it set for "0" for both front and rear, it literally feels like you're in a track car with ZERO GIVE. You feel EVERYTHING on the road with the hardest setting, and your suspension doesn't budge. I personally have my set up on three presets. "0" "8" and then "16" so all you have to do is hit your present and it'll adjust it immediatly on the fly. I like my ride on "8" becuase it's moderate. Yet when i'm ready to corner on the backroads, I set it to "0" and hang on tight!
